Beijing- TV censors who collect unwarranted fees from drama producers will be “strictly dealt with,” according to Li Jingsheng, director of the TV drama administration bureau under the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT). Li’s statement follows accusations by writer Wang Shuo that TV drama censorship officials have received bribes from producers. Since 1997 some producers have had to bribe the censors with “censorship fees” in order to obtain a green light for their dramas, Wang said. Chinese director Ye Jing was quoted by local media as saying he paid more than 100,000 yuan (US$13,000) of “censorship fees” for a TV play which was censored three times but never got the green light.
